Josh Warrington and new WBA featherweight champion Mauricio Lara had a fight near the ring after Lara knocked out in the seventh round Lee Wood as part of a boxing evening in Nottingham. According to Warrington, the incident arose after Lara spat on him.

Lara himself, in an interview after the fight with a smile on his face, confirmed that he spat on his former opponent, whom he knocked out in February 2021. “It's very, very personal between us. I want to end his boxing career,” said 24-year-old Lara.

There was a rematch clause in the contract for the duel between Wood and Lara, and the Briton has already stated that he would like to use it: “Congratulations to Mauricio Lara, a great fighter, I made a mistake and paid for it. I really want a rematch."
